Fast trip, fun journey, and were back...

 

We just enjoyed a few days camping in the 

North Carolina mountains. We had a blast with good 

friends, and now we are back. 

It was a fast trip, a fun journey, and filled with lots of great memories!

What was your favorite summer trip?

 

If you had popped by my Etsy Shop, it was closed while we were away, but has been re-opened. 

There are also a few new pieces still available in my Big Cartel Shop.  

Thanks so much for stopping by...

BAD BLOGGER, BAD!!

Well, I am, I am a bad blogger...

I miss blogging and hope to keep everyone more up to date this summer.

Life has been quite busy lately, which is nothing new around the house,

however summer is only weeks away...ahhh... and I am ready!

Also t-ball is almost over for little man, which will free up most evenings as well.

I have to admit, I am looking forward to being full on with my art for a few months!

Some updates:

I have been juried in and I will be a returning artist this year at 

SPIRITS IN SANFORD

It is such a fun show, and the most beautiful location, 

near the water, in sunny Sanford Florida!

Matthew arrived yesterday, and today we had a super fun photo shoot for 

Matthew Mead Halloween which will be on news stands late August. I have 

to say everything you hear about Matthew is true, he is such a nice guy

and so creative!! I am very honored to be a part of his wonderful magazine, 

so keep you eyes peeled on Matthew's blog for more updates about the Halloween issue.

Nudity involved....................

An appreciation for the nude model...

If has become a running joke between artist friends and myself that I love the nude model. Now, no I am not talking about human nudes, but the title sure did grab your attention I bet. I am talking about sculpted, un-painted, also called nude pieces (wip)of art! I love the process that is involved in creating each piece of work, from creating the form, to sculpting, to sanding, to painting, etc. I work in two dimensional art and to see 3-D art take form, well I am just amazed. Johanna has joked that I have a fetish with it, I just am just overwhelmed with what these wonderful artists can do!! I always love to see the "nude" version before a work is done and then finally see the finished product, there is so much work involved in each piece. I hope you enjoy seeing some of my favorite nudes here...

A special THANKS to Johanna and David for making such great (nude) works of art!

How did I miss this artist??

Check out this blog- I am so loving this artist's work!!! I have snagged a pic to entice you to go... he is amazing!
